And a related question -- even if I were to store them from the file system
(using code like in
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;258038) how do I
tell the DB (Access in my case, but SQL Server should be the same), that the
BLOB is a Word object? Even when I use the instructions in the KB article, I
get (in Access) a type of "Long Binary Data", whereas if I use the Access
front-end to insert the object, when I view the table later, the type shows
"Microsoft Word Document"...
Thanks!

Hi folks,
I want to be able to store and retrieve UNSAVED Word documents as BLOBs. I
got all the info for storing them if they're already saved on the file
system. But what if they're not already saved? I could save them to a temp
file first and then make it a blob, but I'd rather not put them on the file
system at all. I could use Document.Conten ts to get the Range object for the
whole doc and then BLOB that, but I'm not sure that would be quite the same
as a .doc file, maybe things like Styles and the like would be missing.
TIA!
Dave
